Paul Goldberger, one of my college classmates and The New Yorker’s architecture critic, recently sat down with Richard Cook, the designer of the new Bank of America Tower, a Manhattan skyscraper.

The B of A Tower is the largest building to receive a LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) Platinum certification, the highest standard set by the U.S. Green Building Council. Here they discuss sustainable architecture, the use of nature in design, and the debates over the LEED standard.
